This April York, we will not have a booth, but Mr Muffin will be visiting and doing York drop offs for orders.

Friday April 5th is the last day to place your orders for York pick-up. Please call or send an email to place the order.

As we will not be selling at York, payment is required when the order is placed.

Mr Muffin is requesting anyone with a York pick-up meet with him at 11:30 on Thursday. If you are unable to meet him at that time, please provide us with a cell phone number, so alternate pickup arrangements can be made.

Why are we not at York?

MrMuffin is at it again with another special run being planned to order from Lionel.

MrMuffin is at it again with another special run being planned to order from Lionel.

However, there are so many options this time and we need your help to decide which one we should do next!

Disclaimer: You don't need to place a deposit. Simply add to your cart and hit check out. Once at the payment option select "Pre-order and pay when arrives" and done! You will get a notification that your order is getting ready to ship, but you can ignore that part. If the engine gets enough interest to be made you will be on the list to get one when they come in!

Here is the list below!

Visionline Challengers

MrMuffin is thinking of doing a special run of this as Western Maryland (different road number than Charlie Nassau) and Delware & Hudson!

After countless emails/calls asking for an easier way to see what is actually in-stock or available for pre-order, we have finally been able to set up the filter to allow you to narrow down your choice from in-stock or pre-order.

This option will be displayed above the price menu and listed as availability.
